Partial Entrance Restriction as a Potential Tidal Flood Mitigation Strategy in a Large Urban Estuary
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Tidal flooding in estuaries is expected to worsen as sea‐level rise (SLR) continues to accelerate and increases storm surge height. Conventional structural defences are often unsustainable, while nature‐based solutions like managed realignment require extensive land to be repurposed.

Building‐Scale Flood Hazard Modelling for Risk Assessment of Cultural Heritage
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Flooding is among the most frequent natural hazards threatening cultural heritage sites, yet current flood hazard studies often operate at urban or regional scales. While building‐scale damage models exist, they generally rely on flood depth inputs from large‐scale inundation models, inputs that may fail to capture the internal complexity of ...

Non‐Linear Morphodynamic Response of Deltas to Extreme Events
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.Abstract Deltas, the interface between riverine and coastal systems, host ∼500 million people and function as crucial ecological nexuses. The magnitude and frequency of extreme floods are projected to intensify as climate changes, yet the potential impacts on delta morphodynamics remain poorly understood.

Free Surface Waves in Electrohydrodynamics With a Prescribed Vorticity Distribution
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 7068-7081, 15 May 2026.ABSTRACT Traditionally, the study of free surface flows assumed irrotationality to simplify matters, and the results seemed to have great success, notably with the Korteweg‐de Vries(KdV) equation. In the past decade, there have been attempts to remove this seemingly strong condition and replace it with a global constant vorticity equivalent to a linear

Bio‐Inspired Multimodal Hardware Front‐End Enabled by 2D Floating‐Gate Memory for UAV Perception
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 37, 7 May 2026.A MoS2/h‐BN /graphene floating‐gate memory underpins a bio‐inspired multimodal front end that integrates visual, inertial, and airflow cues. A 4 × 4 FG memory array encodes temporal intensity differences, while IMU‐ and airflow‐driven threshold modulation suppresses self‐motion artifacts, enabling fast, low‐power, robust autonomous UAV tracking and ...
